To the cloth diapering moms

I'm trying to prep my diapers. I have 6 charlie bananas and 18 fuzzibunz. I also have a sample pack of rockin green. I'm trying to figure out how many times I need to wash my diapers before use. I'm reading about prepping and getting all kinds of answers fm 1-8. Also my pockets are all one size the charlies adjusted a lot smaller than the fuzzibunz and im worried the fuzzies wont fit. I will get another pack of charlies but what else should i add to my stash?

I am waiting to see if I get diapers at my shower - I plan on buying a few of the 6 packs of Charlie Banana... I was told to wash them once in diaper detergent and then two washes with just water... Hang dry... Not sure if that's accurate but it's the advice I got from a cloth diapering mamma.. This is my 1st time doing cloth :)

I just asked a very similar question on the cloth diaper board! The ladies there told me one wash would be enough for my pocket diapers (I have BumGenius 4.0) and maybe two or three washes for my BumGenius elemental AIOs. Only reason for more washes for the organic Elementals was to break in the cotton and make them more absorbent. I didn't do a pre-rinse (found out that's only necessary when the diapers are actually wet/soiled) but I did go ahead and do the second detergent-free rinse after each wash cycle.
